As they ate, Eleanor suddenly froze, her fork hovering halfway to her mouth. She was staring at Jerome's face, her gaze intense and unblinking. He felt a sudden flush of heat rise to his cheeks, tempted to tell her to eat her dinner, but something stopped him. As he lifted his eyes to meet hers, he felt a strange sensation, as if the rest of the room had faded away, leaving only the two of them.Eleanor broke the silence, her voice barely above a whisper. "I've never seen anyone as handsome as you."'Ahem, ahem,' Jerome was speechless. His ears turned red as he faced the opposite direction to hide his blushed face.Eleanor couldn't help but notice the way Jerome's face had turned crimson at her compliment. She felt a wave of affection for him and was suddenly overcome with the urge to tease him. "What's the matter, Jerome?" she asked, her voice gentle but playful. "Never been called handsome before?" She watched as his ears turned red, and he shifted in his chair, clearly flustered. B
The shadow was getting closer to her, Eleanor was about to run when she heard a familiar voice. "Hahaha, I didn't know you were such a coward. Hahaha," her neighbor laughed like a maniac. "What is so funny?" She rolled her eyes. "Well, I didn't know the great Eleanor was this coward." He said with a mocking tone. "I have been living with you for a year but I still don't know your name. How did you know mine?" She was surprised when. He called her name. "I heard one of your colleagues call out to you the other time. Who was the person that dropped you?" He asked. "Mr. Neighbor, we are in no position to know everything about each other." She said with an annoyed tone. "Relax, I mean no harm. As your neighbor, I should at least know one of your friends so I will be looking for them in case of an emergency." He said. "That also makes sense. Anyway, what is your name?" "Just call me Jack." He answered. "Ok, have a good day Jack." Eleanor waved at him and took the elevator to where
Clenching his fist, Anderson said with a red eyes, "Jerome, I promise you will pay for it. You will pay for this with your life.""Hahaha, be my guest. I will be waiting," he replied without giving Anderson a chance to talk back. He hung up.Anderson stared at the hung-up call, holding his waist in frustration. "Damn it," he cursed, rubbing his hands through his head. He didn't know what to do. Everything is gone; everything is gone. "Hahaha, after fighting for my whole life and wasting my youth on the company, I lost everything in just one day."Anderson started laughing like a maniac. He walked to the passersby who had stopped due to the fire, grabbed a man's collar, and said, "Tell me, what did I do to deserve this? Isn't it funny? I lost everything, I lost everything, hahaha." Anderson shaking with anger shook the man continuously and spoke bitterly. Onlookers rushed to him, held him back, and the man quickly distanced himself to prevent another attack.Someone called an ambulance
Eleanor's footsteps echoed in the hallway as she made her way to the school cafeteria. The scent of freshly cooked meals filled the air, enticing her senses. She eagerly joined the line, looking forward to a peaceful meal in the familiar surroundings of the cafeteria.As she balanced her tray and found a quiet spot, Eleanor's initial joy turned to unease as a group of her female employees approached. The atmosphere shifted, and a sense of tension settled over the table. They circled her like vultures, their words sharp and cutting.Lead bully, Vanessa, sneered, "Look who decided to join us today. What's the matter, Eleanor? Can't find your usual loner corner?"Eleanor tried to ignore the taunts, focusing on her lunch. The girls persisted, their laughter growing louder.Lily, one of Vanessa's sidekicks, mocked, "Maybe she's trying to make some friends. Too bad no one wants to be friends with a loser like her.""I heard she was a servant," another said."Who doesn't know she was a serva

"What's going on here?" Suddenly, they heard Jerome's voice. They were all surprised that he was at the cafeteria. The reason the girls dared to act boldly was that the CEO had never been to the cafeteria. They thought this was the best chance to bully her since there was no one to save her. Vanessa has a strong background, so the employees do not dare to offend her."B… boss," the girls stammered in fear."Jerome, just look at what Eleanor did to me. She poured soup all over me." Vanessa ran to his side and complained bitterly. Her voice with the soup on her body would make one pity her immediately they set their eyes on her.Jerome scrutinized Vanessa and couldn't help but admire Eleanor's skill in defending herself. "I didn't ask you a question?" He said coldly to Vanessa.Vanessa felt embarrassed and lowered her head in shame. She deliberately called Jerome by his first name to show how close they were. But who knew, Jerome would directly humiliate her."I did nothing; I only defe
At the Cambridge family, things were deteriorating every day. The company's stock had been falling consistently."Mia, you need to act fast. If it continues this way, we will have no choice but to declare bankruptcy," Mr. Cambridge called his daughter into his study room."But father, even you couldn't make him help you, how much could I?" Mia asked."I know he still loves you. He is just hurt and has not recovered. Go to his company and visit him. You can even try to seduce him. You are the most beautiful girl, and no man would be able to resist your beauty.""Father, are you sure it will work?" Mia asked with doubt."Why wouldn't it work? Just try hard to seduce him. I am sure he will fall for you. We can't keep on like this."Mia took a deep breath and said, "Okay Dad, I will try.""Very good, my daughter," Mr. Cambridge nodded with satisfaction. His daughter was finally growing.Mia left her father's study room and took a hot bath. After she was done, she put on a blue dress and we
Ok, fine," Mia took a deep breath. She had no choice but to tell him why she was there, or else she would be driven out, and it would be too late."My father's company is in trouble, and I need you to help me." Her tone was still arrogant, unlike someone who needs something from someone and has to be humble. "Hahaha, you are very Mrs. Mia. So, you think my boyfriend has nothing to do with his money? You want him to invest in your already dead company. Don't you find it ridiculous?" Eleanor said in a mocking tone.Mia clenched her teeth, wondering who gave Eleanor the power to talk for Jerome. "Bitch, I wasn't talking to you. Shut up.""Bitch, you called her a bitch? A woman who slept with another man, knowing fully she has a husband. She drove her husband out because he was poor and had found a rich man. She later killed the child and accused someone of being the killer. Tell me who is the bitch here?" Jerome said indifferently."Yes, she dares call me a bitch, but she has forgotten
